WIN: Matias Tarnopolsky played hardball in compensation negotiations when the NY Phil came after him in the summer. That’s why it has taken four months to make the appointment. He got what he wanted, or near offer.
LOSE: Philly saw a good CEO walk away on one month’s notice. Those optics are not good.
WIN: Deborah Borda gets to resume her retirement from orchestra management.
LOSE: Some of her V-Ps at the NY Phil are brushing up their resumes.
WIN: The lawyers. They always do.
LOSE: Carnegie Hall. Tarnopolsky was second in line to succeed Clive Gillinson, eventually.
BIG, BIG WIN: Gustavo Dudamel got the man he wanted. He now calls the shots at the NY Phil. The last three music directors at the NY Phil lost most of their authority to the president and the board. The last two were powerless. Dude has got himself all the old maestro prerogatives and more. He’ll do it his way.
